    SONORA STEAK BOWL
    Shraina C.

    Joined my friends for happy hour at Tocaya! Margaritas were $9 i believe! The guava one is INSANE. So good we all got two. Guac was solid. Elote was okay! Salsa was also okay! Asada bowl was super yummy! Steak was tender and seasoned well. Loved the potatoes in it! Plenty of indoor seating plus limited outdoor seating! Fast service!

    Very flavorful!

    This was my first time visiting this location. I'm a regular at the Toluca Lake location by my job. Tocaya does a wonderful job with their decor and color choices at their restaurants. This location is beautiful. It's spacious, has comfortable seats and is located in a very beautiful shopping plaza!! I received great service as usual, I asked how the horchata is and was quickly given a sample! Love the baja tacos and vegan queso dip!!...it's hard to believe it's vegan!! Great chips as well. The horchata served in a cute glass mug was delicious!!...good for them that they don't offer free refills! My tacos were definitely well done, but luckily for them I'm a big fan of crunchy !! Great salsa and the blue corn tortillas rock!! It's a very tasty taco! Nobody's perfect, but Tocaya rarely disappoints and today was delicious!

    Good tasty food overall. Very tasty La Flor Taco and Cauliflower Taco. Horchata made with almond milk...mmmm...yummm.. Corn Toritilla Soup tasted soooooo goood. Delicious. I added the side of Corn in the soup. So filling and delicious. Definitely going back again. Also recommend this place to try atleast once. Quick service. And ambiance is also very clean green and fresh.

    Excellent taco Tuesday! 3 tacos, a margarita, and chips and salsa weren't more than $25. The food was super fresh, my cauliflower taco was stellar. I wish I had gotten two. I'm usually not a fan of corn tortillas but these were very soft. I only knocked off a star because my food came super quick, but it was 10 minutes before my friend's came. Not a huge deal, but definitely noticeable to the point we almost went up to the counter to check it hadn't been forgotten.

    The food was really good and the margarita also .but the wait was to long The employee at the register was very polite with a great smile

    First time trying this spot. I always pass by when I go to my appointment near by. Came on a Friday night and it was not busy . Love the decor . The sonara steak bowl was delicious . We also got the guac and chips . My friend enjoyed her birria bowl too. Spicy margarita hit the spot . Reasonably priced too . Will definitely come back again. They are cashless fyi

    Great food. Wonderful presentation. Kameko the cashier was very pleasant and sweet. The interior is relaxing and classy. Parking, however, is not too great. But the food is delicious!!!!

    I placed my order through their mobile app for pickup and it was super easy. I ordered two quesabirra tacos and a tortilla soup. The tacos were cheesy and topped with pickled carrots and onions on a blue corn tortilla. The tortilla soup comes with avocado, corn, and black beans which makes it perfect for a cold day. Everything was very tasty!

    Great food and service! I had the cauliflower taco and the mahi mahi , both were delicious. The ambiance is really nice, and the staff is friendly. The only downside is parking they charge $3 every 15 minutes after the first 90 minutes.

    My brother comes here for Taco Tuesday every week. The deals are great and the service is awesome. The staff here is very nice and efficient. My husband loves the birria street tacos and the birria torta. My brother loves the chicken tinga, guacamole, and street corn. My daughter and I love the chicken achiote street tacos, guacamole, and street corn. Unfortunately, you can't order the taco Tuesday deal in advance for pickup, but the service is usually pretty fast, so you don't have to wait long for your order, especially if you dine in. There is a parking lot for the mall, which offers 90 minutes free parking.

    Review #1082~(Studio City, Los Angeles, CA)~ This organic Mexican restaurant was on my way out to where my car's parked at 'The Shops at Sportsmen's Lodge,' Studio City, Los Angeles, CA., today on Saturday, 02/08/2025. I was visiting mostly the outdoor mall itself for a private vendors event. After i finished supporting the locals' vendors' market event at 'The Shops at Sportsmen's Lodge,' i Yelped my way here to this organic Mexican restaurant. I just needed to fetch me a quick bite before i headed out to beat free parking. Service: 5/5~upon my turn, cashier was very efficient and helpful. Food: 5/5~the carne asada taco i bought was long gone inside my tummy. Super delish and juicy!!!! Ambiance~unfortunately my phone was out storage so only got about 9 pics this trip. From quick glances of the restaurant's interior, everything turned out clean and organized. I'll be back again in the near future. Yummy taco!!!!

    This is the aftermath of our date night on International Taco Day/Taco Tuesday. We're doing our part to make sure Tocaya doesn't go bankrupt! As delicious as ever and will always be at the top of our list of food in the SoCal area.

    Great sandos. Picked up for the Hollywood Bowl…read more Grillen chicken caesar wrap was a 10/10. The wrap itself is insanely thin. The fillings are abundant. And the generous side of caesar dressing is the very BEST I've ever had. Wish I could have saved it and slathered it on everything. The Turk sando was very good, but more like a 4/5. Solid fillings and good ratios, but not a WOWER. Added chips and 2 desserts: the chocolate chip cookie which was outrageous, loaded with chocolate in every bite, and the lemon olive oil cake was divine. Pro tip: do not skip out on the desserts. Our order was accurate and pickup was easy. Prices were fair. Will visit again, especially for the wraps.

One of the seasonal specials is the Martha which is an upgraded version of chicken salad (Tarragon chicken salad, apples, shaved fennel, arugula, basil, lemon, garlic aioli on grilled Ciabatta, $16) which sounded pretty good. I placed the order online and headed over to this busy section of Studio City. Street parking can be tricky especially in the afternoon, and there are 'parking ticketers' out in force. This was my first time here at this location, but they had a handy takeout window at the one end, and a friendly guy handed me the bag. As for the food, I could only eat half of the sandwich; one reason is because it was a Lot of sandwich and second, I didn't really enjoy this for the most part (I did give the other half to a hungry co-worker who did like it). Then my favorite part, the cookies. I ordered two orders (two come in an order) so I had four to enjoy. The first bag was a decent sized pair of cookies, but they shafted me on the second order. This was basically one cookie cut to make two which was clearly noticeable compared to the other order. I was too far to return these but next time, it's something I will check on before leaving. I didn't have this problem the first time I came here (even though it was a different location) but as for anything, I recommend checking your order prior to leaving. Otherwise, I will be returning to Ggiata but maybe for a classic Turk or Antonia, or even the arancini side-

Since then I eat here regularly and quite love the food and the team of people there so this review is focused on that. This is consistent, healthy , delicious food with lots of options. I'm a huge fan of the Ahi Tuna Plate - which I get cooked well-done instead of seared and I love their salads so I get the Arugula salad and the Spinach salad as my sides. Flavors are great - very satisfying lunch or dinner option. Also love all the new menu items they have -- they keep the menu fluid and seem to add new things a lot so there are always new things to try. I love the Falafel - and I'm picky about my Falafel. Also, the braised beans are very tasty. Their beverage options are plentiful -- green juice, mint lemonade, a couple different kinds of iced tea, sodas and they have beers as well (according to my friend: "good ones"). The team they have in there right now is LOVELY, kind, friendly, fast and really welcomes you. Plenty of free parking, which is always nice. Located on the 2nd level with an elevator, an escalator and stairs so access options for all! :) I go here several times a month for a quick bite and Tender Greens always delivers. So they've gotten past their Covid failure and turned into one of my Studio City staples. Also, it's not a fancy place, but their second floor location, provides sort of a nice view of Ventura Blvd and the mountains in the distance. I like going in and sitting there for a bite. It's pleasant and easy.

I love that you can easily choose a wholesome meal here -- mashed potatoes, baked or roasted potatoes, soups, salads -- there are plenty of balanced options. The staff is very friendly and welcoming. There's plenty of seating inside, plus a nice outdoor patio. Prices are reasonable, portions are moderate, and overall it's a great spot for a healthy, satisfying meal. Today we tried the grilled salmon salad. It was a bit too spicy for my taste, and the seasonal vegetables were quite salty. The last time we had them they were perfect, so maybe it was just a small inconsistency today. I'll definitely be back.

I also loved the cucumber salad with edamame with the dressing was on point and, the perfectly and mildly seasoned egg rounded it out nicely. Japanese food shouldn't have an overpowering flavor and I loved it and would order this again. Everything is expensive everywhere so the price is what Id expect.

    It's not as bad as I was expecting it to be but it's not great…read more Chicken Teriyaki (2/5): My coworkers raved about this for days and I was so excited to try but it was terrible. I mean maybe I just had a bad batch bc chicken I had today was ROCK hard. Mushroom pizza (3/5): it had a good texture but it was pretty greasy. Probably would've enjoyed a different flavor more. Brownie (3/5): standard brownie, nothing special Miso Salmon (4/5): the flavor of the sauce was really good and I liked the way the salmon was cooked. The bento box itself, however, feels like they just threw in whatever "Asian" came to mind. Like why are there 7 minute eggs in this & why is it unseasoned. Also, what exactly was I supposed to do with the wasabi? The edamame/cucumber salad was more on brand but even that was bland. If I went back, I'd probably order this again out of everything I've tried but the portion is PETITE. Overall, I'm not unhappy I got it but primarily because it was free for me. I probably wouldn't pay for this on my own. It's a real kitchen but it still feels like premade lunch boxes to me + for the price, it just doesn't make sense. No more goop for me. Someone tell gwyneth this is not correct.

We were hoping they sold their bread at the bakery because it's absolutely delicious. Service is warm and friendly. Price point for breakfast with tip was $100. We will definitely be coming back soon to this great neighborhood spot.
